The lesson here is that there is no such thing as the "correct" way to play D&D. Never be afraid to change something from what's on the page! Do it in advance or do it in the moment. If it doesn't work, then you've learned something. Your idea is cute, but you can tie yourself in knots setting...

Thanks Scrivener! Tavern Brawler is great. Actor sounds like fun, too! Making everything about combat is boring. Pull out the Deception BEFORE combat, and you might get your way without starting a fight! (Edit: someone else already made this point up-thread, I see - I think Advantage is still...

Hi Hobo - thanks for being so communicative; it's very much appreciated! I signed up for the Windows beta a couple of weeks back, but I've just ordered myself a Nexus 7. Is there any way I can change my sign-up over from Windows to Android?

The apostrophe in the quote is fine. Keep looking...

It suits you. Now, while you're tinkering: please get rid of that stray apostrophe in your sig!

There you go. I can put differences aside and dole out XP where XP is due.

Okay Scrivener, the important ones: Actor and Tavern Brawler - hit me!

Apology accepted. I find satire much more fun, myself: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?356024-NEWSFLASH-New-Version-of-Dungeons-and-Dragons-Doesn-t-Please-Everyone! Don't worry, Ruin Explorer also annoys the hell out of me - he waffles on like the Dickens on the most tedious points...

This is a really good question that I asked a couple of weeks back and no-one answered (I also haven't received my set yet). This is a good idea, but don't underestimate just being straight up with players. RPG players are not traditionally good at picking up on subtlety. They may just take...

Yep, this. My "rewind" option that is knotting so many knickers was offered as an alternative for people who have a problem with just being straight-up with the players. Apparently those same people have problems with lots of stuff. That's a possibility (depending on the players). It could also...

No, they certainly are not. And it's totally impossible to make an adventure that caters to every individual. That doesn't make the module broken. Maybe the people you play with are like that. The people I play with are universally lovely and open to imaginative solutions. Sure is. And I...

I fixed it. You don't like my fix? Make your own. And get over your superior attitude.

Seems like the most fun character to play, from my perspective. Nothing like a good doomed hero. Here's how I'd handle it: when you're handing out the characters, say this: "This guy really wants to take out a dragon, and is pretty deluded about the reality of that situation. Be warned: if you...

I think the fact that half a dozen people have come up with separate and plausible character stories based on this specific confluence of alignment and BIFTs (yes, we're calling them that) shows that the system works, and actually that it is far more interesting when these things conflict. Which...

Seems very likely.

Would be preeetty surprised if that was the case. "Here, have advantage on everything, all of the time...".

Let the wild speculation about what they actually do commence! I can't really imagine choosing ability bumps over feats, to be honest. Flavour is so much more fun than just being slightly numerically better at stuff.

Healing potions are the only magic item available to buy in the player rules, full stop. By default, magic gear is RARE, so even that one item that is commonly available is going to be expensive. I was surprised to see it there at all, myself. But as someone suggested, it's probably meant for...

Back in the 90s when I actually read the books, I was intimidated by the idea of trying to run a game in an established setting. Now I just don't care - I'll run the new adventures in my version of the Realms, the one where I just make up anything that isn't covered by the adventure (and change...

No dragonborn subraces: confirmed.
